BLANK SIZE ENGINEERING (BSE) is a sub-module of eta/DYNAFORM, which is equipped with one step code MSTEP and Batch MSTEP for rapid stamping simulation and will present a Formability Report for product after solution. In addition, BSE can be utilized to estimate a blank size and conduct a blank development, such as blank fitting and blank nesting. BSE submenu consists of QUICK UNFOLD, PREPARATION, MSTEP, UNFOLD, DEVELOPMENT, BATCH MSTEP, BATCH BSE and FORMABILITY REPORT, as shown in Figure 7.1.
